The Access Code requires tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs) to be provided to warn people who are blind or vision impaired
of potential hazards such as a change in level or overhead obstructions.
AS 1428.4.1 sets out requirements for the design and installation of TGSIs to ensure safe and dignified mobility of people who are
blind or vision impaired. TGSIs provide cues, which, when combined with other environmental information, assist people who are
blind or vision impaired with their orientation.
The following table describes the content of the proposed revised version of this Australian Standard. This revision was undertaken
as part of the development of the proposed Premises Standard. There are no significant changes proposed to this Standard but
the location of information has been rearranged to enable a single section to be referenced which is applicable to the design and
construction of buildings.
The Access Code requires accessible carparking spaces to be provided in prescribed circumstances and refers to AS 2890.6 for
the specifications for off-street parking for people with disabilities, including parking space dimensions, configurations for shared
loading and unloading spaces and marking of spaces. The following table describes the content of the proposed revised version of
AS 2890, whereby the accessible carparking part has become AS 2890.6. This revision was undertaken as part of the
development of the proposed Premises Standard.
The following is a brief description of Australian Standards that are currently published and are intended to be referenced in the Premises
Standard.
AS 1735.2
This Standard sets out requirements for electric lifts for carrying passengers or goods, or both. This Standard is complementary to AS 1735.1,
but the requirements of this Standard take precedence over corresponding requirements of that Standard. Alternative requirements for electric
lifts carrying passengers or goods or both are set out in AS 1735.1.
AS 1735.3
This Standard sets out requirements for electrohydraulic lifts for carrying passengers and goods.
AS 1735.7
This Standard specifies requirements for power-operated stairway lifts intended for use by persons with limited mobility. The lifts consist of a
carriage, incorporating a platform or a chair, or both, for raising or lowering persons along stairways.
AS 1735.8
This standard sets out requirements for power-operated inclined lifts of the car or platform type for public and private use, other than stairway
lifts covered by AS 1735.7, temporary lifts or hoists used solely for building work, and amusement devices.
An inclined lift consists of a platform protected by side walls which may be built up and provided with a roof to form a completely enclosed car.
It is driven by a drum, traction, or rack type machine at a speed of not more than 0.5 m/s.
AS 1735.12
This Standard sets out requirements for facilities in passenger lifts that are specifically designed to assist persons with a disability. It is
complementary to AS 1735.1, AS 1735.2 and AS 1735.3. Where any conflict arises between Parts of AS 1735, the provisions of this Part shall
take precedence.
AS 1735.14
This Standard specifies requirements for powered low-rise vertically lifting platforms for passengers. It is intended that the Standard be applied
only where the platform is used by persons with limited mobility or for wheelchair applications.
AS 1735.15
This Standard specifies requirements for low-rise, low-speed lifts intended for use primarily by persons with limited mobility.
